All is one when you can see the connections, and can therefore interpret, or identify these same energies working in similar ways, even in two very different and at first sight diverse areas, or fields of knowledge such as this.

The words Feng Shui are said to mean literally wind and water. Both the wind and the water find always the paths of least resistance as they move their powerful energies around, and Feng Shui does a very similar thing.

Feng Shui is an allowance for the beneficial flowing of love in the Universe. Like water, like wind, love will always find its way to you.
